Ryan Reynolds will take on a grittier role than he’s ever done before in his next film role where he stars in Buried. He 
plays a civilian contractor who’s kidnapped in Iraq, and then wakes up buried in a coffin in the desert, armed only with a cell phone, a candle and a knife.
Reynolds is going right into production this month in Barcelona.
Variety says that Reynolds chose to go the indie route as a way to stretch his acting ability in a movie with a claustrophobic premise, and one in which he holds the screen through most of the picture.

The Courier is set to star Adrien Brody with Russell Mulcahy to direct the independent action movie.
The story follows a daredevil courier who is chased across the country by corrupt cops and rival crime boss as he tries to deliver a briefcase to an infamous underworld figure who is nowhere to be found.
It sounds like a typical action movie but with the scribes Michael Brandt and Derek Haas (Wanted) it could be a refreshing story.
Filming is set to start in January in Louisiana and Las Vegas.
